Real Wedding: A Stop-Motion Video of a Summer Wedding

The lovely Rosemary Brennan called my attention to this amazing video of a gorgeous real wedding on board a ship. Not only is the video one of the neatest things I’ve ever seen, but you’ll get tons of genius ideas from the wedding, itself.

So the wedding photographer decided to do a little experiment. She took the photos, straight from the camera without re-touching them, arranged them sequentially, and set them to music. The result? I think you’ll agree with me that it’s pretty fantastic.

Things I love about this wedding: The bright summery colors. Even a rose bouquet looks fresh with such a juicy color palette.

The bride’s whole look. The ruffled wrap she wore took her already stunning gown to a whole new level of amazing. Did you catch the back of it? There are roses that coordinate perfectly with her bouquet. And the birdcage veil and fishnet tights--wowza!

The one-shoulder bridesmaid dresses and the side ponytails the ladies wore for extra asymmetry (sort of like my wedding-day hairstyle).

The escort cards adorned with teeny-tiny faux daisies in the cheery color scheme.

The photos at sunset when the newlyweds are two shadowy figures.

Also, I dare you not to get teary when the bride’s caught on camera getting choked up.

The best part about the video--since the photos were straight from the camera, the couple didn’t have to wait that long to get a peek of their pics!

Would you want a stop-motion video like this for your wedding? Or would you want a continuous-action video with the real sounds? What was your favorite detail from this real wedding?
